TRACE CARRIER Application filed January 5, 1929. Serial No. 330,640.

The present invention relates to a trace carrier and has for its prime object to pro vilde a carrier of this nature which will preserve the traces and is strong and durable, inexpensive to manufacture and thoroughly ellicient and reliable in use.

\Vith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the descripton proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevation. of the trace car-- rier embodying the features of my invention,

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken substan tially on the line 2-3 of Figure 1, and

F igure 3 is a section taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the letter A denotes a strap of leather or other similar flexible material which is disposed about a strap 13 of metal. The strap 13 includes an elongated loop portion 5 which enlarges downwardly in a gradual manner, and at the upper end n1erging into a double ply portion 6 the upper end of which merges into the sleeve 7.

The strap A is disposed about the loop portion 5 and along a double ply portion 6 and about the sleeve 7 and then overlapping itsel'l as is indicated at 8 and rivets 9 passed through the straps A and B at the double ply portion 6 and the overlapping portion 8 respectively.

An eye 10 is disposed between the sleeve 7. lit is also to be noted that the edges of the strap B are flared outwardly as is indicated at 11 particularly shown to advan tage in Figure 3 so as to eliminate friction and prevent the cutting of the trace.

llt is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, in the size, in the proportions, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is: i

A trace carrier of the class described ineluding a metal strap forming an elongated LEVI B. FOX.
